  • Patent number: 11127205
    Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) mesh segmentation techniques are described. In one example, a geometry segmentation system determines a vertex direction for each vertex in a 3D mesh. A segment generation module is then employed to generate segments (e.g., as developable geometries) from the 3D mesh. To do so, a vertex selection module selects an initial vertex having an associated vertex direction. A face identification module then identifies a face in the 3D mesh using that initial vertex and at least one other vertex. A segment determination module compares the vertex direction associated with the initial vertex with a normal determined for the face. If the vertex direction is orthogonal to the normal (e.g., within a threshold amount), the face is added to the segment, and sets another one of the vertices of the face as the initial vertex and the process repeats.

  • Publication number: 20210264659
    Abstract: Certain embodiments involve techniques for generating a 3D representation based on a provided 2D image of an object. An image generation system receives the 2D image representation and generates a multi-dimensional vector of the input that represents the image. The image generation system samples a set of points and provides the set of points and the multi-dimensional vector to a neural network that was trained to predict a 3D surface representing the image such that the 3D surface is consistent with a 3D surface of the object calculated using an implicit function for representing the image. The neural network predicts, based on the multi-dimensional vector and the set of points, the 3D surface representing the object.

  • Publication number: 20210256775
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards intuitive editing of three-dimensional models. In embodiments, salient geometric features associated with a three-dimensional model defining an object are identified. Thereafter, feature attributes associated with the salient geometric features are identified. A feature set including a plurality of salient geometric features related to one another is generated based on the determined feature attributes (e.g., properties, relationships, distances). An editing handle can then be generated and displayed for the feature set enabling each of the salient geometric features within the feature set to be edited in accordance with a manipulation of the editing handle. The editing handle can be displayed in association with one of the salient geometric features of the feature set.

  • Patent number: 11080819
    Abstract: An image processing system receives an input depth image with a surface that is not developable and generates an output depth image with a piecewise developable surface that approximates the input depth image. Height values for the output depth image are determined using an optimization problem that balances data fidelity and developability. Data fidelity is based on minimizing differences in height values of pixels in the output depth image and height values of pixels in the input depth image. Developability is based on rank minimization of Hessians computed for pixels in the output depth image. In some configurations, the optimization problem is formulated as a semi-definite programming problem and solved using a tailor-made alternating direction method of multipliers algorithm.
